Azacitidine 50-63 metallothionein 1G Homo sapiens 137-142 1690731-5 1990 DNA methylation was shown to be correlated to cell-type specific regulation of MT gene expression since 5-azacytidine treatment resulted in the expression of the MT-IF and MT-IG genes in response to cadmium and zinc in Wi-L2 cells, of the MT-IIA gene in response to dexamethasone in Wi-L2 cells, and of the MT-IG in response to zinc and copper in Hek 293 cells. Azacitidine 104-117 metallothionein 1G Homo sapiens 172-177 1690731-5 1990 DNA methylation was shown to be correlated to cell-type specific regulation of MT gene expression since 5-azacytidine treatment resulted in the expression of the MT-IF and MT-IG genes in response to cadmium and zinc in Wi-L2 cells, of the MT-IIA gene in response to dexamethasone in Wi-L2 cells, and of the MT-IG in response to zinc and copper in Hek 293 cells.
